The Yungas Road is a 64-kilometre (40 mi) long cycle route that links the city of La Paz and the Yungas region of Bolivia. It draws about 25,000 tourists per year[1] and is a major La Paz tourist attraction.[2] With 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) of descent, many tour operators cater to downhill mountain biking. At least 18 cyclists have died on the road since 1998.[1][3]
The route includes the Cotapata–Santa Bárbara section. It replaced the old road, built in 1930. It was considered dangerous and nicknamed the "Road of Death" because of its steep slopes, narrow single track, lack of guardrails, rain, and fog;[1] however, it was not the most dangerous road in the region.[4] Unlike the rest of the country, the road had left-hand traffic, which allowed drivers to better gauge the distance between their vehicles and the edge of the road.[5]
